Deep meditation
thoughts trapped running from exile
stilled for this moment
my heart hears autumn falling
my eyes cherish only spring



Tasting silent words
my soul content to slumber
dusk settles on waters
afloat a banner of stars
accepting the flux of aging



"I am not now that which I have been."

Both are such lovely Tankas.
A wonderful phrasing form to enhance the graphics.

Well these were both beautiful, as was your presentation.  However, I have to tell you when it comes to accepting the flux of aging...that is where I have a real problem and I tend to fight it every inch of the way
